Antique Aubusson carpet (France)

Period: 1st half of the 19th Century
Dimensions: cm 365 x 318

The design of this Aubusson carpet is typical of the 1st Empire period.
A classic medallion of spherical appearance with a green and light blue background surrounded by a floral crown, emerges from a central field with a brown background. Note the distinctive geometrical structure of the inter-linked, hexagonal decorations, with a small corolla in the middle, which are interrupted at the corners to be replaced with simple bunches of flowers.
The outer band also features a rigorous design, which picks up on the green of the middle, and is softened only by the simple, flowering shoots.
